What do you mean by "must authorize twice"? I understand how proxy server works, but you as developer have to provide the required credentials, you can cache them in your code. Having two HttpClient connections to the same server is not that a problem, is it? I am not sure if allowing a preconfigured HttpClient is a good idea, if you use VFS as "singleton" chances are good to confuse its internal cache if you change e.g. login data of your "outside" HttpClient.
